HOST AN OPEN HOUSE
As a manufacturer it’s your opportunity to:
• Tell your company’s story
• Dispel outdated myths about manufacturing
• Inspire a new generation of manufacturers
• Connect with potential customers in your community
• Learn about manufacturing extension partnerships that can improve your efficiencies and work force skills and boost your profits
• Visit other manufacturers to initiate business relationships and learn what is being made in your community
The core element to Manufacturing Day is the schedule of manufacturer’s open houses. Manufacturing Day producers will promote the open house
schedule through general and trade media campaigns which will alert thousands of people to visit manufacturers and see that American
manufacturing is a vibrant career path and employers need skilled workers. The event will also make it possible for manufacturers to visit other
participating companies in their region that may be potential business partners – either as customers or suppliers.
Manufacturing Day has been designed to expand knowledge about and improve general public perception of
manufacturing careers and manufacturing’s value to the North American economy. In addition, manufacturers will
